Because I do, though, it hit me especially hard.<BR/><BR/>He, too, has a truck he loves and I think your idea of holding onto it & making it into lawn art is perfect. He also wistfully talks of wanting an "I love me" wall; he even uses those exact words. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your story. I will add your family to those I hold in my heart. I wish I could give you a big squeeze!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828848189028464069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1148965450823390272006-05-29T22:04:00.000-07:002006-05-29T22:04:00.000-07:00Deedy,Your sacrifice and that of your children lea...Deedy,<BR/><BR/>Your sacrifice and that of your children leaves me short on words. My heart aches for you. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for opening up your life to us and for sharing your deepest thoughts. Please know that I will carry the memory of your husband and the suffering you endured with me for the rest of time. Although I never met you or your husband, it is because of people like you that I still have hope and faith in this world. These are words from my heart.<BR/><BR/>May God bless you and carry you as you find your way through these difficult days. All is not lost as long as you live the life your husband wanted for you and your children.<BR/><BR/>Scott Holmes<BR/>Boston, MassachusettsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1148951291397053992006-05-29T18:08:00.000-07:002006-05-29T18:08:00.000-07:00I wrote you from SPAIN, and I wish to express my t...I wrote you from SPAIN, and I wish to express my thanks from EUROPE, to all american soldiers, for their efforts and sacrifices for freedom in this generation, and in the past. Because without the people of their kind, for sure that I wouldn’t be free to do and think what i want, instead of have to do and think what other people said my to do and think... in german or russian. And thats the perfect proof for all those leftish, protesters and STALIN lovers, that if your country is an empire, IT´S AN EMPIRE OF FREEDOM.<BR/>I wish you enjoy the memorial day, and thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1148943882101819892006-05-29T16:04:00.000-07:002006-05-29T16:04:00.000-07:00We remember.

I can't imagine what it must be like for you...but, then again, I have a son deployed now and the thought that he might not come back crosses my mind more than I care to admit. I've always taken time to remember our fallen troops and their families, thanks to my Marine dad and upbringing, but the last 2 years have affected me much more deeply...having someone deployed makes a big difference. Please know that I am thinking of your husband and you and your family on this day...praying that God will bless you and bring you happiness again.kbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223790985074382728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1148928206115517752006-05-29T11:43:00.000-07:002006-05-29T11:43:00.000-07:00Thank you Deedy for sharing this story with us.
